I have several TRV 20's.
I seem to be "burning out" DV ports on them.
I'll have a project whereby I take a Power Point Presentation on my gateway computer, and utilize an on board scan converter program (PPT 100) sold by DataVideo Corporation which converts Power Point to video.
It may work once or twice, and then suddenly, the computer no longer recognized my TRV 20. Nor does my stand alone editor (ScreenPlay by Applied Magic Corporation) recognize it either.
Both did at first.

Hi Mark,effectively it looks like your computer is blowing firewire ports.To start , whenever you connecct firewire you must ensure that both devices are off, or you risk to blow the firewire. If you swapped the cable with co ...

Camera: Nikon Coolpix E4600
Have tried to transfer images from my Coolpix camera to my computer. Once connected to USB cord, the camera is recognized by the computer except the file transfering programs (Nikon Transfer and PictureProject) don't recognize any files to transfer. Is it a problem with the cord itself? I've put the memory card which has the pictures into my laptop and transfered them successfully that way, which is why it leads me to believe the cord is the issue.
